i’m not really a sci-fi reader but ready player one is one of my favorite books of all time!! it’s really good at explaining things so it’s not so confusing and it’s really action packed so it keeps you invested throughout the whole book
I’ve been in a reading slump since the start of September and this video made me want to read! Thankyou!!! The first clear the cart video you made was how I found you channel it’s been amazing seeing the progress you’ve made!
I’m a new subscriber and I really like this series you’re doing. I really should do something similar as I have way too many books lol. So excited you’re reading Caraval and House of Earth and Blood. So good! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them.
Permission to DNF if Ghosted (or any book) makes you dread picking it up to read it after you give it a shot! Life's too short to waste time reading a book you aren't into. 😉
If it’s not cheating DO CC ON AUDIO!! It’s really good and it personally saved me from DNFing that big monster 💀 by the time we got to the end, I cried and was sad it was over bc I’d miss the characters. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t derail your TBR 🥂
I love your TBR series and checked out your planners. I got the quarterly planner I think that’s going to be great for me as I finally (at54) reach for a goal ive had since I was 16.
Dear Jess, I have been watching your channel in the spech pathology/hustle days and then somehow lost "touch" and just found you again - and what can I say - I'M THRILLED that we're both in our reading era and your content (although it is quite different than before) couldn't be more relatable and I'm beyond excited for more book content!!! You're awesome!
@@SunFlower-sp1jn thank you 🥰🫶🏼 I mostly do book content here but hustle sanely is still going strong!!! I have a podcast and Instagram where I share allllll the hustle sanely goodness!
I enjoy watching your videos and have come away with remembering that we may be moms and TH-cam for a hobby it is ah okay to do less videos a month to not stress out so thank you for that. My challenge for next year is to read my little free library and library sale books instead of my books on my tbr being mainly library books. Thankfully my husband gets that I mood read a lot. Happy reading!!
Hi Jess! Your videos are my absolute favorite right now, glad to be here 💚 I think it would be so cool for you to incorporate your 2025 TBR since you talked a bit about building that with any new books you are buying. Maybe it could be a new series or something going into next year
I need to clean up my good reads and put all the books I want to read for sure next year. Lots of series and dipping my toe into the Brandon Sanderson universe.
I agree about buying books in the past based on the hype and not researching more if I would enjoy it. I’ve changed how I purchase books too 😊 I love this series btw
i am SO excited to see your reaction for scythe!! it’s a YA so i flew through it pretty quick, but it has some great conversations about morality and ethics as well as a budding romance, what more could you want?? wishing you luck on finishing your tbr!!
Love this content so much Jess! I recently got back into reading this year and I am thoroughly enjoying it but have not amassed two full TBR carts, lol #noregrets I have also gotten into annotating books and I’m obsessed…it has totally changed my relationship to reading but in the best way possible!
Also a toddler mom running a small business from home. I read when I can 😅 I’m in the middle of the same crecent city book and I’m struggling with it. I hope you have better luck!
I LOOOOVE ready player one the movie its one of my faves, so I decided to read the book a chance and OH! MY! I re-fell in love with this and of course the book is better than the movie hahaha and apparently their is a second book but to my TBR it goes!
Yes, SJ Mass books do the same thing to me. I love the books, but it takes me weeks to finish them, and then I'm in a reading slump! So, I avoid them too😅
Caraval was a fairly quick read and I really enjoyed! 4 stars from me. I’m still working on Legendary. Hope to finish that book and then Finale, hopefully by the end of the year. Pharmacy school doesn’t leave a lot of time to read 😭
I have a cart and i did so good clearing the first shelf but then i got distracted amd went to other books on my shelves 😅 i added a few new ones to my cart. After i read the Zodiac Academy series i am going to try to get back and make a huge dent in my cart
I’m so excited for you to read Crescent City 1! I was also dreading it since it’s so long but ended up loving it and the whole reading experience ❤ it got me back into the “passionate stay up all night reading” vibes
You made me giggle when you opened Ghosted and got even more repulsed 🤣 if it makes you feel better, I know you like watching Sara Carrolli’s videos, and she loved Ghosted! So maybe there’s hope for you lol
I stopped at a court of silver flame because it put me in the biggest slump... throne of glass seems like it would take a lifetime for me to read so I am terrified to pick it up
I'm hoping that Ghosted is a book you'll love so it's a nice surprise since you've been dreading it and hate the cover. I hate when I read books with covers I don't like and then I don't like the story, makes me judge books by the covers more lol.
I wish you werent so intimidated by ready player one... in my opinion it being deemed science fiction is a stretch. It's more adventure. It's kind of like the goonies where the teens are trying to reach the treasure before the bad guys via an emersive virtual reality videogame... and the treasure is winning the ownership of the video game platform. So kind of also like the ending of charlie and the chocolate factory. I can't say for sure if you'll like the story but I do think you'll feel like you pyched yourself out over nothing.
this is my first video of yours and I love it! i’m at 14:36 and I haven’t read anything but sarah adam’s before but i’ve been drawn to the match just with having epilepsy myself, a yellow lab named daisy had my dream dog is a golden retriever. I think it’s a sign I have to buy it 😂❤️
I never comment but honestly I LOVE the clear the cart series!! It’s so refreshing to see booktubers actual read the books they have!
@@savannahgrace5104 yes I agree! Instead of continuously buying and not reading them. You’ve inspired me to read the physical books on my own shelves!
@@savannahgrace5104 🥲🫶🏼
once you finished the cart, you could do a video with all the new books you have on your TBR now! it will be fun to know 😊
It would be so entertaining to watch you read your dreaded books like Crescent City and Ghosted.
Yes this would be a very fun vlog
I second this 😂
finally someone who isn't drinking the sarah j. maaas koolaid!
Love the "Clear the Cart" series! It's a really fun way to read your TBR cart rather than purchasing new ones :)
Theses videos are great
i’m not really a sci-fi reader but ready player one is one of my favorite books of all time!! it’s really good at explaining things so it’s not so confusing and it’s really action packed so it keeps you invested throughout the whole book
I love these videos! I’m gonna be sad when the clear the cart is over 😭
@@maurarose3361 I don’t even know what I’m gonna doooo :( this series motivates me to make videos consistently!
You can make a 2025 version @@jessmmassey
I’ve been in a reading slump since the start of September and this video made me want to read! Thankyou!!! The first clear the cart video you made was how I found you channel it’s been amazing seeing the progress you’ve made!
Caraval seems like the perfect fall read! Also I'm obsessed with this series so never stop!!
I do something very similar! It’s so satisfying to trim down my TBR💪👏 Love these videos girl!💗
I love this clear-the-cart series! It's so satisfying to see!
I think your clear the cart videos are my favorites!!! It’s so fun!
I agree, it’s is so fun to watch
I love seeing your progress and commitment to completing the challenge.
I’m so excited for you to read Scythe! I read the last two books in January and it’s amazing!
I’m a new subscriber and I really like this series you’re doing. I really should do something similar as I have way too many books lol. So excited you’re reading Caraval and House of Earth and Blood. So good! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them.
You’ve knocked this cart out lol can’t wait till you finish them all 😆🙌🏾
@@shayjackson91 this series is truly what’s keeping me going 😅🥲
Im shook by your TBR, sounds intense 😮 but if someone can do it, I know it's you! You are amazinh girl
Permission to DNF if Ghosted (or any book) makes you dread picking it up to read it after you give it a shot! Life's too short to waste time reading a book you aren't into. 😉
Love the clear the cart series! Yes! Thanks for sharing
Screaming at you to read GHOSTED for the initial prompt! lol I just read it and it’s so good!
It's visibly clearing, amazing
If it’s not cheating DO CC ON AUDIO!! It’s really good and it personally saved me from DNFing that big monster 💀 by the time we got to the end, I cried and was sad it was over bc I’d miss the characters. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t derail your TBR 🥂
@@baileytaylor6454 I am very pro audio sooo I might just do this! 🎧🫶🏼

Love Caraval and House of Earth and Blood!
I can't wait for you to read The last letter!! Sooooo good

@@Catsforever-j3z I definitely need a new series once clear the cart is over - I’m gonna miss how fun it is to make the videos 🥲
So inspiration struck and I chose my October tbr along with the prompts that came out of the jar. I got a pretty good set of picks!
@@valeriaandrea28 how fun!!! I love this 🥰
I need to clean up my good reads and put all the books I want to read for sure next year. Lots of series and dipping my toe into the Brandon Sanderson universe.

Love the clear the cart videos! I loved Reckless! I can’t wait to read the Lost Bookshop for book club!
Reckless is my favorite chestnut springs book so I really hope you enjoy it!! ❤
I really enjoyed the flatshare! Fun little romance
you could try reading crescent city over october & november so you’re not getting slumped out and still taking it off the tbr!!
@@cullyncary672 I might end up doing this honestly!
Reckless (in my opinion) is so worth the hype it gets! I love Theo and Winter and everything in that book. Good luck with your TBR
9:21 i absolutely loved Reckless. My favorite in the series. Made me cry
I’m reading Caraval right now! ❤

I read 'Crescent City' in October of last year and I loved it so much. I'm not the biggest fan of Sarah J. Maas as well, but I really loved that one.
Crescent City will be great for October with the mystery!
Loved this :) ♥♥
Crescent City is my favorite series of SJM. It’s a really good October one, the two main characters are trying to solve a mystery!
@@malloriemoreno4263 ooo okay I love this!

Looks like a fun list! Ready Player One and Red Rising are NOTHING like each other!!

@@avaguavastudies okay this is encouraging and gives me some hope! 🥲
actually dying at what was inside Ghosted XD
@@Usishxbshsh 😅😂
ahhhhhh another episode ❤
I loved Ghosted!! I'll be interested to see if you like it
I am with you with the sarah j maas 😅 i read acotar and it was good but it didnt get me to but the throne of glass series.
why are you dreading reading ghosted? it is such a good book i'm hoping when you read it you like it ❤️❤️
I love watching your videos❤
Hustle Sanely Planner turns 6? I remember watching some of your first videos about your planners!! Congratulations!!!!
@@Kischa07 thank you 🥹
Me: I should totally ready my TBR
My TBR: hahahahahahaha liar
Lessons in Chemistry has a kid in it

You deserve all the accolades for persevering.

have you thought about making a book club on fable?? id love to join ❤️📚
I stopped at a court of silver flame because it put me in the biggest slump... throne of glass seems like it would take a lifetime for me to read so I am terrified to pick it up
AAHHH! I’m so excited for you to read scythe!! Also, you’re pronouncing it right, it’s not skythe lol.
I just finished the lost bookshop I loved it I hope you do as well ❤️🫶🏼
don't be scared of ready player one, it is really accessible (I think) but I am a gamer girl so I might not be objective :D.
I'm hoping that Ghosted is a book you'll love so it's a nice surprise since you've been dreading it and hate the cover. I hate when I read books with covers I don't like and then I don't like the story, makes me judge books by the covers more lol.
So cute girll❤
I just got Ghosted from KU
Couldn’t you have chosen J.M Darhower’s “Ghosted” for the author’s initials prompt ? 😆
LOL, you picked it even after you said you’re dreading it. Thoughts and prayers girl 🫶
@@shaylaatiles thoughts and prayers accepted 😂😭
I wish you werent so intimidated by ready player one... in my opinion it being deemed science fiction is a stretch. It's more adventure.
It's kind of like the goonies where the teens are trying to reach the treasure before the bad guys via an emersive virtual reality videogame... and the treasure is winning the ownership of the video game platform. So kind of also like the ending of charlie and the chocolate factory.
I can't say for sure if you'll like the story but I do think you'll feel like you pyched yourself out over nothing.
the amount of excitement I get for your clear the cart videos 🤩 I’m truly going to be sad when it’s over 🥲
